CLIENT TESTIMONIALS What they said about Jim Byrne
Hello and welcome: This page
contains a list of testimonials from a few of Jim Byrne's former clients; plus a link to dozens more testimonials. I
have been very fortunate that so many of my former clients have chosen to write to me about what they gained from working
with me. These testimonials were written, or, in four cases, uttered, by
former clients, without any encouragement from me; and these individuals were asked for their permission to reproduce their
statements here, and elsewhere, in order that future clients might get a flavour of what people gain from working with Jim
Byrne. (The clients' initials and locations have been altered to preserve anonymity/confidentiality! And they comprise a good
balance of males and females). ♣ "Hi Jim, I feel so encouraged and uplifted by the work we did together, that I cannot
imagine anything stopping me getting out there and achieving my goals. I am not going to hide from my problems anymore!
Thanks to you". S.B., Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. (One session of face-to-face counselling for social anxiety
and discomfort anxiety). ♣ "Dear Jim, I would like to book three
sessions of telephone counselling with you. The work we have done so far has changed the trajectory of my life.
Things are looking much more hopeful and positive, because of the influence of our relationship on my attitudes towards life's
difficulties and problems". K.J., Washington, USA. (Six sessions of telephone counselling for career and
family problems). ♣ "Hi Jim, Thank you for teaching me your Six Windows
Model, and sending the Confidence Book. I now see my life much more as an interesting set of challenges, rather than
an impossible mess. The Six Windows Model is a powerful tool for changing the appearance of my world. Everything
looks and feels so much more manageable and controllable. Thanks again." B.B.G., Bradford, West Yorkshire.
(Two sessions of face-to-face counselling for low frustration tolerance and stress). ♣
"Dear Jim, Thank you for seeing my son earlier today. He is greatly reassured that he will now be able to deal
with the challenges that were destroying his self confidence. I can scarsely believe the change in his mood and attitude!
Thank you..." P.T., Todmorden, Lancs. (Immediate feedback on one session of face to face counselling provided
for her teenage son, for problems of depression and lack of self confidence). ♣
"Dear Jim. ... Around session three, the anger just drained out of me. Sessions four and five gave me some great insights
and skills. I'm much better with my wife and my kids, and we all enjoy each other's company so much more. I just feel so much
more laid back. I cannot imagine getting angry about the things that used to send me insane!" H.T., Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
(Five sessions of anger management coaching). ♣ "Dear Jim, Thankyou
for sharing your anxiety-reducing techniques with me. They're helpful when things get bad. I have my panic under control".
N.G., Ilkley, West Yorkshire. (Four sessions of counselling for anxiety and panic attacks). ♣
"I took an online depression test before I consulted you. I have just re-taken that test, four months later. Huge difference!
I went from 'severely depressed' to 'within normal range'! I'm in the clear and feeling good! Thanks". P.P., Brittany,
France. (Four sessions of telephone counselling).

"Dear Jim, Thanks again for helping my son, Frank.
The sessions were exactly what he needed, and have given him an ability to accept himself and to look kindly on himself for
what happened. It is reassuring to know you are there should we need you. I wish you well and will always be grateful for
your help and kindness". A.F.G., Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. (Two sessions of counselling for acute cognitive/emotive
disorientation). "Hi Jim. ... ...
On a final note, I have friends who see therapists on a regular basis, some on medication, etc., and they seem no better off
than myself. I believe your work over the phone and internet is as effective as anything I am observing...so keep up the excellent
work. I believe you are really onto something and if I have an opportunity, I will recommend you to others! I assume you would
not mind. ..." J.P., New York City, USA. (Four sessions of telephone counselling, plus three email exchanges). "Hi Jim. I think I've really improved since
my appointment with you. Fear of flying and fear of change no longer seem like insurmountable problems to me. I now know exactly
what my problem is: I've tended to believe 'I absolutely have to be comfortable with change, or doing something different,
or being off the ground, or out of control'. But not just that. Also that 'If I'm not comfortable, or in control, then it's
awful and I'm embarrassing myself'. So I have an area of self-talk to focus on and work on. I really did enjoy my appointment.
Yes you are the most eccentric and zany counsellor I've ever met, but in the nicest possible way. I think the humour helped
get the ideas across. Give me a few weeks and I'll be flying". PSG, Harrogate, West Yorkshire. (One session of coaching
for anxiety). If you want to find out how I can
help you, then please phone Jim Byrne on: 44 1422 843 629 (from outside the UK); or:

- "Dear
Jim, ... Great news! Michelle and I have been getting on really well for at least the past three months, for which we largely
have you and Albert Ellis to thank! I still keep working on my thinking. It is amazing that I still find a lot of unhelpful
ideas, and screwy ideas, washing around in my mind. You will be pleased to know that I persist with identifying and challenging
them, and replacing them with more helpful ideas, just like you taught me". C.G., Paris, France. (Eight sessions of telephone
counselling, including some couples counselling by telephone; plus a few email exchanges).
- "Hi Jim, I hope you are well. I just want
to say a big thank you because our couple of counselling sessions has made a huge difference to my life. I've stopped
procrastinating; worked on my relationship with (partner's name); got my anxiety under control; changed from that job I didn't
like; and moved to a new and better house. Your approach was simple and direct, but incredibly valuable and effective;
and I just wanted to say a big thank you and to hope you and your family have a very happy Christmas. I will definitely
come and see you again in the New Year". L.P., Cornwall. (Initials and location changed to protect the client).
